From the rear cover
"Raymond Geuss exhibits in this unique collection an intellectual courage, rare today, in radically undermining current beliefs and preoccupations so that a new, surprising view is disclosed. By doing this with respect to some of the most demanding political questions of our times, Geuss contributes more to the unfinished project of critical theory than most of its self-acclaimed followers."--Axel Honneth, Columbia University
"The impressively bleak view of the world presented so elegantly in these essays puts in question some widely shared agreements--about politics, ethics, clarity and truthfulness, the tragic. The artfulness of these essays is that the style of Geuss's questioning is as subversive as the subject matter."--Alasdair MacIntyre, author of After Virtue
"A World without Why is a fascinating collection of essays by one of the most original, witty, profound, passionate, and erudite philosophers alive today."--Wendy Brown, author of Walled States, Waning Sovereignty
"These essays are, as always with Geuss, engagingly written, challenging, and extremely interesting."--Daniel Brudney, author of Marx's Attempt to Leave Philosophy

Description:
Hardback. New. Wishful thinking is a deeply ingrained human trait that has had a long-term distorting effect on ethical thinking. This title ranges over such topics as the concepts of intelligibility, authority, democracy, and criticism; the place of theology in ethics; tragedy and comedy; and the struggle between realism and our search for meaning.
